transdextrous

Actively or passively changing congenital handedness; as in writing
Changing from one hand to another
Changing one’s handedness
I was born left-handed, but my kindergarten teacher forced me to be transdextrous. Now I write with my right hand.

Is it considered transdextrous if I change back to my left hand, after my kindergarten teacher forced me to write with my right hand?

Professionals in the field of psychiatry are still trying to determine how much effect , if any, transdexterity has on the brain.

Urban Kite

Aka: plastic grocery bag, plastic bag; a plastic grocery bag that is easily caught by the wind and ends up in treetops. This event can occur when shoppers are careless about their environment, and throws bags on the ground. It can also be caused by spilling out of overflowing trash cans, and cars filled with junk, often unbeknownst to vehicle occupants, as they step out on the ground.

Urban kites occur mostly in the city, due to the higher number of shoppers and higher urban kite:consumer ratio. Urban kites can be seen in rural districts on occasion, but country folk are not in a hurry, and therefore, have more time to prevent and/or correct urban kite flying.

Urban kites are often used as trash bags, lunch bags and cheap totes, which help prevent them from ending up in trees.
Johnny, close the car door and grab that urban kite that's stuck on your foot. Do you want it to end up in the trees?

Look at all those urban kites dancing in the tree tops! That one on the left is new.

transdexterity

The act of changing congenital handedness; as in writing
The act of hanging from one hand to another
Changing one’s handedness
Transdexterity was once a common practice of kindergarten teachers, when they noticed students writing with their left hand. They believed the child must adapt to the world and its inventions, such as scissors and pencil sharpeners, so they forced left handed children to write with their right hand.

The act of transdexterity was once controversial in the teaching profession. While some teachers believed they were helping naturally left-handed children fit in the world’s standards, others believed the world should adapt to the left-handed children, as they were born.

PUTPUT

Pick Up To Pass Up Time

Applies to Apple IPod touch, iPhone, iPad, or similar devices that enable game applications. This specifically applies to apps that pass time; such as waiting in the grocery line or doctor office where you don't want to play a game that requires intense concentration or large blocks of time necessary to reach a goal.

Examples of such games are: Pocket God; Koi Pond; Pet Simulation games; Sims; Doodle Jump
These apps are fun to play, but do not keep scores. When you reach the cashier or are called back to the examining room, you can close the app without losing your place or sacrificing points.
Pocket God is a great PUTPUT game to play while waiting for the red light to turn green. I can quickly toss my iPod aside until I get home, so I can concentrate on driving without losing any points.
